Suggest Treatment For Severe Burping And Loose Stool
I am a 68 year old femaie in excellent health. Over the past few months I have been having increased burping - not a single burp but rolling burps - several in a row. They are strong when I first get up in the morning and start moving around but they also happen throughout the day. In the past several weeks this is now being accompanied by lower GI gas. Sometimes constipation, sometimes very loose stool and sometimes diarrhea. I am not skipping meals but often feel gassy and not hungry. Other times I feel like my stomach is a gas/bubble machine. I have no pain - sometimes some discomfort but I would not say bloated. I weigh 120 pounds at 5 4 and walk a couple miles a day. Thoughts?
